TCS X/Y Antenna Prduct Line Features Antenna size ranges frm 1.2 meter t 7.6 meters (larger units available) X/Y axis cnfiguratin Transmit/Receive feed technlgies thrugh Ka-band Designed ideally fr tracking LEO, MEO and GEO spacecraft Applicatins include Earth Observatin, Remte Sensing and TT&C functins Lights-ut peratin, including Ethernet (TCP/IP) M&C 2015, TeleCmmunicatin Systems, Inc. (TCS). 2
X/Y System Advantages The X/Y eliminates the keyhle r cne f silence assciated with verhead passes experienced n ther pedestal cnfiguratins The lwer dynamic tracking mtin f the X/Y antenna, verses an Elevatin ver Azmith antenna, prvides fr mre accurate pinting, which is especially imprtant when tracking Ka-band this lw dynamic reduces system maintenance and wear N cable wrap issues, which means n rtary jints r slip rings required Lwer cst t prduce ver a traditinal Elevatin ver Azimuth antenna greatly reducing cst t the custmer 2015, TeleCmmunicatin Systems, Inc. (TCS). 3
TCS X/Y System Advantages Delivery Schedule: 18 t 26 weeks (ARO) fr the 1st system ne f the best delivery schedules in the industry Cst advantage: Simplified design, alng with advanced manufacturing techniques, cupled with the use f cmmercial cmpnents has created ne f the mst cst effective antenna prducts available in the industry Carbn fiber reflectrs and sub-reflectrs N need t heat the dish t avid expansin and cntractin Greater gain perfrmance ver an aluminum dish Lwer cst t prduce ver an aluminum dish Envirnmental: System designed fr peratin in Castal, Arctic and Desert applicatins 2015, TeleCmmunicatin Systems, Inc.
